Having been Bob's neighbor for 34 years, I have many memories of Bob. I can still see Bob an my husband, Buzzy, on snowy days out plowing our private lane so everyone could get out. Bob knew how to plow the lane with skill and precision, keeping the thank-you mam's in tact, no matter how deep the snow. I, also, had the pleasure of watching the girls grow up, marry and have their own children. Robin, especially, played with my younger children and was almost a part of my family. Every family party included some or all of the Umhoefer's.
After my husband's death, Bob mowed my field for years and plowed the lane alone. I will always keep the memory of Bob's kindness and friendship with me. He was a true friend to my family.
